The Procedural Sky Volume Override is the default sky type in Scenes using the High-Definition Render Pipeline. In this workflow we’ll learn how to use the Procedural Sky Override to tint the sky and ground, adjust atmospheric thickness (simulating haze), and adjust lighting and exposure.

In this project, you will learn the ins and outs of Color Grading and how to get the most out of Post-Processing with Color Grading.

By default, any objects that have reflectivity in a scene will reflect the currently assigned Skybox. If the scene is sparsely populated, it’s easy to assume this effect is appropriate; however, the illusion of true reflectivity falls apart once other objects are placed in proximity to the reflected object. Without special configuration, other objects will not reflect in the surface. In this tutorial, you will learn to create this special configuration.

Screen Space Reflections (SSR) are a high-quality, controllable, method of generating reflections using screen space data. They are more accurate than Reflection Probes and, while expensive, can be optimized. In this tutorial, we’ll enable and configure SSR.

Volumetric Fog is a powerful tool in an environment artist's kit. Volumetric Fog is a wonderful addition to any scene that could use a sense of space, whether it be a dusty town, a gloomy cemetery, or a grand throne room. Most implementations of fog, such as exponential or linear fog, are computed at an object’s surface by the Shader that the surface uses. At most, this is once per pixel. Volumetric fog, on the other hand, is computed at intervals in the empty space in front of the camera, independent of any surface. In this tutorial, you will learn to create and adjust Volumetric Fog.

Lightmapping is the process of pre-calculating the brightness of surfaces in the Scene. Lightmaps allow you to add global illumination, shadows, and ambient lighting at a relatively low computational cost. In this tutorial, you'll configure your Scene for a lightmap, get your lighmap set up, and then bake your lightmap to add lighting effects to all surfaces.

Learn how to create optimized and realistic lighting using the LWRP through use of baking, Light Probes, and Reflection Probes and learn the key lighting features of the Lightweight Render Pipeline that contribute to better performance on VR devices

Get an overview of the lighting features introduced in Unity 5 with this lesson covering realtime global illumination, light types, the lighting panel, as well as emissives and probes.

The Visual Environment component allows you to override a Volume’s settings for the sky (including sky type and whether its ambience is static or dynamic) and fog. In this workflow, we’ll create and confgure a Visual Environment Override.

It’s important to understand light shapes because the shape determines how a Light affects the area it illuminates. When working with lights, using the right shape can make a noticeable difference in the fidelity of your project.
